Graduating Seniors...Please come pick up your yard signs! They will be placed out front by the flag pole for you to come and get!
This is the exact narrative that went out this evening for the all-call:
"Hello, this is Kenny DeMoss, Principal of Parkersburg High School, with an important message for all students, especially seniors and senior parents.
On Thursday, June 25th, at 10:00 AM, we will have our Senior Color Day. Students will be able to line up in the horseshoe starting at 8:30 AM. We will begin festivities with the raising of our senior flag at 10:00 AM and the parade will start there afterwards.
Students will be limited to the number of passengers based upon the number of doors on their vehicle. So, for example, if you have a 2-door vehicle in the parade, you and one passenger will only be allowed. If you have a four-door vehicle you will only be allowed to have up to four people in your vehicle. No one will be allowed to sit in a truck bed, hang out the windows or sit improperly. No trailers or floats are allowed. Only registered licensed vehicles are permitted in the parade. All vehicles will be checked coming into the horseshoe and leaving for the parade for compliance. There will be no exceptions to these rules.
Students may decorate their cars in the horseshoe prior to the parade, keeping in mind that social distancing is highly recommended along with wearing masks.
The parade will leave the horseshoe, go down Washington Ave., down through and around the park, and then back up Washington Ave. The parade will finish in the back parking lot when at that time we will have graduation practice on the field at 11:00am. During practice we will be distributing packets to you that will include honor cords and other important information along with your yard signs in which you all voted on via the all call survey this past weekend.
Those seniors not wishing to participate in Color Day, graduation practice will start at 11:00 AM at Stadium Field. When you arrive at the stadium, please come out and find a seat that will already be staged on the field for you to sit in; you may sit where you want.
On Friday, June 26th at 5:30 pm, our graduation will begin at Stadium Field rain or shine. Each student will be limited to 3 guests per Covid-19 distancing protocols. A family of 3 will be able to sit together, but they will sit 6 feet from the next family and seats will be marked. In the event we have severe weather (like expected thunderstorms, high winds etc.), our severe weather date is Saturday, June 27th at 2:00. In order to cut down on items being handed back and forth, tickets will not be distributed. Graduates will walk in with their families of 3 or less; there will be no re-entry. We are working with local entities to make sure that the graduation will be televised or live-streamed and/or on the radio. Those details are not complete yet. Many of you will have certain questions that will require more detail about graduation and another all call will be coming out later in the week concerning more details since I am limited to 3 min. on the all-call.
Sr. all night party raffle gifts will be held at graduation practice. You must be in attendance to win. Also, senior exit surveys are posted on our school webpage ( https://www.takemyschoolsurvey.com/e…/WV_Parkersburg2020.htm ). I also wanted to congratulate Miss Olivia Christ who has been named our Valedictorian!
I appreciate your patience in the anticipation of this great news. We look forward to celebrating the class of 2020. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at 304-420-9595 or email me at kdemoss@k12.wv.us . Thank you and have wonderful evening!
Seniors voted via all-call to have their senior yard signs picked up the day of graduation practice instead of putting them on the front lawn of the school. Signs were made by Interstate Studio and purchased by the school with no costs to parents. If you would like to make a donation to Parkersburg High School to help cover the costs of these double sided signs, please contact the school at 304-420-9595 and ask for the Finance Office.
Starting Tuesday, May 26th, students will be able to turn in completed paper packets. Boxes will be placed out back under the bus canopy and will be divided up by grade level. The boxes will be available from the 26th-29th from 9am-3pm. On Friday, the boxes will be brought into the cafeteria where they will sit for the weekend for teachers to go through before grades close. Students are not permitted in the building for packet return. Thank you!
